Receta Quinoa with Vegetables and Herbs
This was easy and a delicious side for the yogurt chicken I made the other night. My sister raved about this and my husband, who normally prefers bulgur and other grains to quinoa, really enjoyed it. If you haven't had quinoa before, this is an easy and tasty dish to start with! Feel free to substitute other vegetables you have on hand or prefer.

- Rinse quinoa in a strainer. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring quinoa, 2 cups water, and 1/4 tsp salt to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until quinoa absorbs the water, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Raise heat to medium-high and add garlic, zucchini, carrots, thyme or oregano (if using), and red pepper flakes. Saute, stirring frequently until vegetables are tender and gold at the edges for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Season with remaining salt and black pepper. In a large bowl, mix together quinoa, vegetables, fresh chives and serve.
